Earlier, Subramanian was Textiles Secretary at the Centre and was responsible for clearing genetically modified variety of cotton \u2014 a decision which a few years ago he regretted. Subramanian was sent to UP as Chief Secretary in 1992 in the aftermath of Babri Masjid demolition, when emotions were running high in the state.<\/p>\n
After his retirement, he headed a committee to form national education policy which was submitted to the government in 2016 but was not accepted.
